Risk Aware
Enables radiology practices to offer Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk assessments, helping identify patients' risk and inform care pathways.
Overview
Risk Aware™ by Ikonopedia provides radiology practices with the ability to conduct the Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment for their patients, helping to evaluate the likelihood of developing breast cancer. This widely accepted model integrates several factors including family history, hormonal influences, benign disease, age, body mass index, and genetic factors like BRCA, offering a holistic risk profile.
The model assists in critical health care decisions, guiding patients towards genetic counseling and appropriate screening strategies. Studies have shown the Tyrer-Cuzick model to be the most accurate for breast cancer risk assessment, enhancing patient education and empowerment.
Providing these risk assessments can encourage the use of MRI exams or alternate screening methods, aligning with the latest scientific guidelines advocating for earlier screenings, especially for minority groups. Radiology practices can integrate this risk assessment into their patient portals or offer it on-site, improving the early detection of potential breast cancer risks.
Benefits of Risk Aware™:
- Offers comprehensive risk assessments for breast cancer.
- Promotes proactive health care decisions and personalized care pathways.
- Facilitates integration into existing radiology practice workflows.
- Enables more patients to assess their risk and access necessary follow-up care.
Risk Aware™ empowers health practices and radiology groups to advance their patient services by identifying high-risk individuals who may benefit from further screening, ultimately supporting the importance of early detection and intervention in breast cancer treatment.
